Brain development research

1/24/2016

3 Comments

 
I have recently attended an event with neuropsychologist Dr. Steve Hughes. He is very active in the Montessori organization. He provided some interesting insights. You are invited to watch some of his recorded talks here. 
However, we are more and more convinced that early childhood brain development is not understood well enough. Our education can surely be done much better. We are interested in cooperating in the research of early childhood brain development, and looking for possible partners in such international research projects.  
If you are interested in possible cooperation, contact us. We'll be happy to hear from you.

Shopping time! :)

Christmas holidays is usually also the time for shopping. My advice is to give your kids something useful and educational. An instrument is a perfect gift. Check out some instruments we recommend or try to find something by yourself.
Another great and meaningful gift is a DVD Sound of Music. 
Or you might need some CDs with music accompaniment. Anyway, I hope you will find your perfect gift and have a very happy Christmas time with your loved ones!

Music Work Out - great teaching materials

9/23/2015

Good teaching material will ease your work a lot. We are always on a look-out for good ideas and materials. We have been attending the Music fair in Frankfurt (biggest music fair in Europe) for many years now. At a visit a few years ago we discovered Music Work Out - a great set of teaching materials. We found it the best thing at the whole fair! We are also happy to have become friends with the family which has developed it.

Music Work Out
They provide 2 different cases of materials. The bigger case contains a lot of different flashcards, which are very useful for music teaching in elementary school.
Picture
The smaller case contains three different games: bingo, memory and domino. This one is appropriate for younger kids, too, introducing various music notation symbols. It is great for introduction of symbols to small kids, or for some fun time with older children.
Picture
Another thing from them that we really love is their music memory app. It is great for development of hearing and memory, and very useful for kids that can't be separated from their smartphones and tablets.

Music accompaniment

9/9/2015

Many activities in music classes require music accompaniment. Of course it is best to play suitable music by yourself. However, sometimes this is not possible - perhaps you have to lead the kids in those activities, or you simply can't play a suitable instrument. 
The CDs below (Djingalla series) are a great match for a variety of activities for kids. We also use some pieces for our classes.

We are preparing a lecture about preschool voice development. We would like to know which issues do you find most important and interesting - is it physical aspect of producing the voice (vocal cords, diaphragm), choosing the right songs, movement activities which support proper singing, or perhaps something else? Let us know your thoughts! Thank you for your feedback.

Sound of music - 50th anniversary

8/20/2015

2 Comments

 
This year we are celebrating the 50th anniversary of the movie The sound of music. It has become one of the most popular movies ever, a great musical, with plenty of useful resources for music education. 
It is one of my favorite movies. I was very happy to be at the Orff summer school in Salzburg this summer - Salzburg is the city where the story takes place. Me and my friends have also visited the most important places from the movie. 
This is the way to the Frohnburg castle - Maria sang her "I have confidence" when she came to work for the von Trapp family.
Picture
This are the front and the back side of the Frohnburg castle - now it is the student home for the Orff Institute.

Picture
The "Do-Re-Mi" song was performed on these stairs, too - they are in the Mirabell park.

The buildings on the main square, which were occupied by Nazis.

The back yard of the von Trapp residence with the lake was filmed at Leopoldskron palace.

The love scenes in the pavillion were filmed elsewhere, but the pavillion was later transferred to the park at the Hellbrunn castle.

The kids went to look for Maria when she returned to the monastery - at the Nonnberg monastery.
